Droopy eyes

Haha yes I could, but we don't pay by the pound, one bundle is a set price. so if I took a leaf off, I'd still pay the bundle price.

Well, I just gave him a nice bowl of mustard and turnip greens, grabbed him out of a corner because he was throwing a hissy fit and he ate some of his vittles like a good boy!

I'm going to take your list to the store and buy a couple different things and see if maybe he's just not a big fan of the things I've been offering.

He just tried to bite me!!

I was holding him on my shoulder on the couch with the blinds open so he could have some sunlight, and then he just launched himself at me and tried to bite me!

He's such a jerk!

DES or droopy eye syndrome.

I have seen it in a few dragons and it does not seem to bother them, they eat grow and breed.

Normally a dragon that is not offered greens/veggies at hatchling stage will not eat veggies later on in life. they are all different in preference towards food items. a dragon that will not eat veggies is normally a somewhat dehydrated dragon.

He got veggies every day as a baby and he still does.

He gets regular baths and I mist him down(not his cage) really regularly.

He is just going crazy right now also and it's really annoying. The second his lights are on he's running around his cage crashing into the glass and trying to climb it. He sits in one corner and just freaks out for 12 hours sometimes.

Can you post a pic of his droopy eyes?

[AkHerps]

I'll see if I have any on my comp, if not I'll take pictures later.

[AkHerps]

Just took this.

[Drumsinthenight.]

Yes that is droopy eye syndrome.

Not so bad in your pic I have seen much worse. if you keep him on sand make sure to check now and then to see if any sand has collected in there.

I had a female that was worse than your guy and she lived a long happy life.

It's a tiny bit worse than that because he was squinting angrily at me for getting near him lol. Yeah I had read about the condition and figured thats what he had. Do you have any sites with more info?

He has shelf liner in his cage because he eats eveything else, like papertowel! He won't eat veggies but he'll take giant bites of papertowel! But he has never been on sand.
